Panic:
Re rockers: The rockers are the factory ones associated with the head that came off the 235. Perhaps I missed a comma in that sentence of my report. They were in better condition than the 261's rockers. The pushrods are tubular ones from Crower. I was disappointed not to use the valve rotators off the 261 but they were in poor condition and perhaps not needed anyway. The lifters came from Crower at the time I bought the cam and were properly radiused to match the cam profile per Crower's instructions. FWIW the cam and lifters showed no wear in 80,000+ miles.
